Many features does not not in trial version of CS5. Help!

I downloaded the complete suite trial version and InDesign does not work! Illustrator and photoshop work well, but it is so in InDesign is not working. I can't fill an area with a color, infact when I select the image and click on the color chart, it gives me black in option and "New shade of color" is grayed out, but if I click on the fly-out in the upper right corner of the swatch box, I can create a new shade. When I do this I get a whole bunch more of color options, but still cannot apply to the image.

I can create a new block of text, but cannot change the text attributes. I can still click on the 'character formatting controls' in the menu bar when I text or selected text block. Cannot change the font, color, type ect.

When I direct select an image and apply a transformation, such as "Flip horizontal" it moves completely out of the frame.

What is going on?

I also tried to download InDesign individually (rather than as part of the suite) and it works exactly the same way.

Then it's because I'm using the trial version and there are some features are disabled? I read on the forum he did there will be disable anything notable, but what else could it be? I'm working on getting it bought. I just started a new job and the purchase order has not been approved yet, but I have work to do! Help!

CS4 and CS3 are acting the same way.
